Five Star Gift Ideas

For your mom's birthday, here are some thoughtful gift ideas based on her interest in historical tours:

1. A guided tour: Consider booking a guided historical tour in a city or region that your mom has always wanted to visit. You could also choose a tour related to a specific historical event, era, or theme that your mom is interested in.

2. Historical fiction book: If your mom is a reader, consider gifting her a book set in a historical era or featuring historical figures that she admires. Some popular historical fiction authors include Philippa Gregory, Ken Follett, and Hilary Mantel.

3. Museum membership: Another great gift idea is a membership to a local or national museum that focuses on history. This would give your mom access to special exhibitions, events, and resources throughout the year.

4. Handy historical sightseeing guide: If your mom is a big traveler, consider giving her a handy historical sightseeing guide for the next trip she takes! The guide would give her a full itinerary of popular and lesser-known historical sites to see.

5. Souvenir from a historical destination: If your mom has recently visited a historical destination, consider getting her a souvenir or gift inspired by that location. This could include a replica of a painting or historic building, a cookbook featuring local recipes, or a historical artifact like a piece of pottery.

Or you can get her a star map with the date when she was born.

“I made a map for my mums birthday and she absolutely loved it. Definitely buying another one soon, probably for another family member or friend”
